@briathestoryteller: I struggled talking about this for years. I know some folks aren’t going to like what I’m saying. To those I grew up with still in the faith this may even be shocking to watch. But this is one of the most honest and raw posts I’ve ever made. And I’m so grateful. I have found such joy in my deconstruction of religion that eventually grew into an amazing spiritual journey. Traveling helped me see there were more “truths” than the one I was taught and it helped me discover my own. I’m a deeply spiritual person sitting somewhere between the intersection or prayer, tarot cards and astrology charts haha. And my connection with the divine energy of source is so beautiful. My ongoing journey around the world has supported my ongoing spiritual journey. And I pray and hope everyone finds their OWN truth and path to enlightenment. With much love 🫶🪻🐝🧚♀️✨ Oh! And if you made it this far pls check out my SS: briathestoryteller where I go wayyy more in depth 🌞🌝
When I learned about the egregore it gave the final language missing I needed to articulate what happens to the collective.

“Knowledge” is demonized within many churches because most of religion requires ignorance and blind faith.

As someone who’s been very religious , I’ve became agnostic over the years . Every religion has a bit of truth in it

People existed for almost 300,000 years before Christianity came on the scene. Christianity doesn’t have exclusive access to or ownership of god

Before I went off to college, my pastor grandpa told me something very similar to what your pastor told you, lol. “Don’t learn too much, don’t get too smart,” something like that. Isn’t that crazy?

Education, travel and getting to know others who are different from you will open your mind.

I went to a Christian university and I graduated agnostic because of the same reason, once you open your mind and spend time with people you realize that one dogmatic view is so limited.

That’s my main issue with religion. Most people’s religious beliefs are simply a result of geography and colonisation. If you’re born in the Middle East you’ll likely be Muslim, India you’ll be Hindu, people in remote untouched parts of the world don’t practise any of these mainstream religions. Yet we’re supposed to believe God put millions of people on earth just to condemn them to hell simply for not practicing a religion they probably never really encountered or never resonated with regardless of what kind of people they are? They could be the kindest most compassionate people yet we’re supposed to believe they’ll be damned to hell simply for not being Christian?

My mom said something similar to me as a teenager. She said “I just think that your intellect may get in the way of your faith someday.” She was correct. I am now an atheist.

This happened to my sister. She travelled the world for an entire year. She came back deconstructed.

I've thought about that before. Every religion will say their's is the only true religion and frame all other religious texts as dangerous. But if every religion feels that way, how can anyone be sure their faith is the true faith? I still believe in God and Jesus but am struggling through my deconstruction. I feel a deep resistance toward church and the bible. At the same time, I still feel a guilty for it but maybe thats healthy. A church/religious system that can't weather human intelligence or curiosity likely prioritizes control over faith and love.
